i am clinging to the idea that you will be here soon

i am hanging on so dearly to thoughts of your arrival

i've been waiting for you here

in this very lonely space

i've been trying to call you near

so that i can see your face

and it's ok that i'm being a little silly about it

it's ok that i'm rhyming for you

just so you know

that's not the only thing i'm willing to do

we're going to be everything you need

and you're everything i want

i wish we could have been a little better prepared for you

but we will work things out together

i hope your father can do what he needs to do for you

i know he wants to do everything that he can

he loves you already

so do i

i love to feel you moving around inside me

i have needed you to heal me

you may be what completes us both

so i've been grasping at straws and searching for needles

in the haystack of life

and all i could find were these safety pins

that's ok

you can help me look for other things

even these things i didn't know i was looking for before you

it's ok now baby

mom will keep you safe and love you always
